<b>Read the <a href="discussion_policy.htm">Discussion Policy and
Guide to Effective Posting</a>.</b>&nbsp; Doing so will help you
to ensure that your post is read by the people who can help you
and received in the spirit in which it was intended.
<p>
<b>Subscribe your posting address.</b>&nbsp; As an anti-spam
measure, postings to most Boost mailing lists will only be
accepted if the posting's "From:" header contains an email
address that is subscribed to the list.&nbsp; If you try to post from
an address that isn't subscribed, you will probably get a
message that says:</p>
<blockquote>
<tt>You are not allowed to post to this mailing list, and your message
has been automatically rejected. If you think that your messages are
being rejected in error, contact the mailing list owner at</tt> <i>list
administrator's email address</i>.
</blockquote>If you need to post from multiple email addresses, you
should subscribe each one separately.&nbsp; You can configure your subscription
settings for any address to disable mail delivery via each mailing list's
web interface.
<p>Even postings made through the <a href=
"http://www.gmane.org">GMane</a> news server need to be made from
subscribed addresses because GMane simply forwards your postings
on to the appropriate email list.&nbsp; Don't be fooled by GMane's
authentication message that says "you are now authorized to post
to this list" after you answer its autogenerated mail; only
subscribed addresses may post.</p>
